A Demon in Silver by R.S. Ford
The male gaze is really heavy in this one. It’s not bad, it’s just something I wasn’t looking for with so many female POV characters.
Like Mother, Like Daughter by Jane Sigaloff
3.0
I really enjoy Jane Sigaloff and have read her books since I picked up "Lost and Found" at Target. Her books are the typical boy meets girl story, but with a more thoughtful undertone. Like Mother, Like Daughter looks at ageism, family relationships and infidelity. It's a fun, reasonably thoughtful read.
Working for the Devil by Lilith Saintcrow
Move over Anita Blake. I was browsing through my library's shelves and randomly picked up "Working for the Devil" which blew me away within the first pages. Saintcrow writes with a tight, action-oriented almost comicbook like narrative. Dante Valentine isn't a typical urban-fantasy heroine, she's senstive, flawed and incredibly human. Gone are the large chested women with strange colored hair and eyes with limitless abilities who are just so perfect.
Dante Valentine is greeted by a demon sporting a gun on her doorstep early one morning with a message from "The Prince." Who is the Prince? Lucifer, who has contracted Dante (an accomplished Necromance and bounty hunter) to track down Santino a lower level demon who stole an important artifact from the Prince. With the Devil, there's always a catch, Santino stalked and murdered her lover along with other accomplished Necromances.

Dime Store Magic by Kelley Armstrong
4.0
My favorite part of this book is Armstrong delving further into the differences between witch magic and sorcerer's magic. At first, I wasn't sure about Armstrong's choice of switching between characters during the series, but I like that we get to know other characters and see old characters from a new perspective.
